Celebrities and Politicians Getting the COVID-19 Vaccine: See the Photos – PEOPLE

McKellen, 81, was given the first of two doses at London’s Queen Mary’s University Hospital on Dec. 16, the Evening Standard reported.

“It’s a very special day, I feel euphoric,” the Oscar nominee said, per the British news outlet.

“Anyone who has lived as long as I have is alive because they have had previous vaccinations,” the Lord of the Rings star said, adding, “the take up amongst the older generation will be 100 percent — it ought to be — because you’re having it not just for yourself but for people who you are close to — you’re doing your bit for society.”

McKellen said he felt “very lucky to have had the vaccine,” and encouraged others to get it as well.
